Boddie denied knowledge of that incident—though following that story, Newbold's employer, Paul Dewey, confirmed he'd had knowledge of the incident since 2012, and had even spoken with Boddie about it back then. On July 7, Boddie said Newbold may have been struggling with substance abuse problems at the time of the alleged incident. Newbold later stated that was false.

The allegations against Boddie came after FuturePAC, a fundraising committee representing Oregon House Democrats, pulled its support of Boddie last month, accusing him of "using a homophobic slur and promoting the illegal consumption of alcohol."

On Monday, Mayor Pro Tem Sally Russell, who serves alongside Boddie on the council, stated, "The recent personal accounts related by Moey Newbold make clear that Dr. Boddie can no longer remain an effective City Councilor representing Bend, or an effective candidate for HD 54. His effort to impune Ms. Newbold's character instead of acknowledging his actions is unconscionable, and I applaud her bravery in coming forward with her story. As elected officials, it is our responsibility to encourage an open and transparent dialog regarding an issue like this. Instead, Dr. Boddie has worked to obscure the truth and has shown only defensive excuses in the face of facts. Our community deserves better."

Russell also said she'd be working to create a process for the City of Bend for dealing with complaints like this, and will introduce a new policy requiring city elected and appointed officials to participate in harassment trainings.

"With something this serious, it will be difficult for Dr. Boddie to effectively work with community leaders and his fellow councilors to serve our city. It's time for Councilor Boddie to resign," Russell wrote in the email sent to the Source.

Meanwhile, other community leaders have also pulled support of Boddie.

In a statement emailed to the Source Monday, District Attorney John Hummel said: "Boddie's public response to Newbold's allegation was reprehensible and beneath the dignity of a sitting city councilor and candidate for future office. Boddie is entitled to publicly deny the allegation, though his doing so strains credulity. But to trash the reputation of his accuser by sharing with the public what Boddie claims to be Newbold's medical condition is disgraceful, particularly in light of the fact that Boddie is a physician.

I stand with Moey Newbold and against Nathan Boddie."

In regard to FuturePAC's accusation, Hummel stated, "Future PAC handled this matter in a ham-handed fashion and should immediately release the details of the allegations against Boddie so that voters and the entire public can judge their significance for themselves. As a prosecutor, I know that the details matter in cases like this.

"Moey Newbold's allegation on the other hand was clear, detailed, and moving."

Boddie is the Democratic candidate for the Oregon House 54 race, a position currently held by Rep. Knute Buehler (R-Bend).

The Source reached out to Boddie to address several perceived inconsistencies in the last statement received from him, but has yet to receive a response.
